Oregonians will have the choice between two competing measures on the November 2008 ballot. One referral is Initiative Petition 40 (IP 40), which has qualified for the November ballot. The other is the legislatively referred, Senate Bill 1087.

Both measures provide for more severe sentences for certain property and drug crimes, and SB 1087 provides alcohol and drug treatment for certain offenders.
